ORDER

Before the Court is the Report and Recommendation filed June 1, 2016, by the Honorable Barry
A. Bryant, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. (ECF No. 25). Judge
Bryant recommends that Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 20) be granted in part
and denied in part. The parties have not filed objections to the Report and Recommendation, and the
time to object has passed. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).1 Therefore, the Court adopts the Report and
Recommendation in toto.

Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 20) is hereby

GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. The motion is granted with respect to all claims against
Defendant Singleton and the claim of excessive force against Defendants Dennis and Bland. These
claims are dismissed with prejudice. The motion is denied as to the denial of medical care claim against
Defendant Bland. The only claim remaining in this case is Plaintiff’s denial of medical care claim
against Defendant Bland.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 9th day of August, 2016.
